STEP33
Despite of what Olympia told us in the guide, the DD/DTS was not working for me,
so after a lot of tweaking, I found the solution that’s easy enough and works 100%(for me).
sudo nano .asoundsrc
(that’s in home dir)
pcm.48k_best {
type rate
slave {
pcm \"hw:0,2\"
format S32_LE
rate 48000
}
converter \"samplerate_best\"
}
pcm.!xbmc_default {
type plug
slave {
pcm 48k_best
}
}
Then, despite of what was written in the guide, change the audio settings in the XBMC interface to
default - both of them. You should now have stereo and DD/DTS sound.
STEP34
There is some bug with the vsync in the video settings.
Some say it should be turned on, some - off.
The thing is that it may bump up your CPU to 100% steady.
For me, setting it to let video driver manage it, did the trick. YMMV.
STEP35
Look for the NaviX script and upload it to a scripts/myscripts directory to have some nice add-ons, including youtube and some podcasts and videocasts.
STEP36
In order to display non english filenames, google and upload the ARIALUNI.TTF
to /usr/share/xbmc/media/Fonts/ and overwrite the arial.ttf file.
It’s a 22MB file and it’s available on thepiratebay.org.
STEP37
Put this in /home/xbmc/.xbmc/plugins/programs (create “programs” dir)
and enable “show programs” in the theme (there is an option in the default theme).
After that, go to the programs, svn installer through GUI and you’ll get access to lots of add-ons.
I got myself the lyrics script.
STEP38
Now, for the Remote control part.
By the way, although I have a tv card inside (Hauppauge mce-150),
I don’t actually use it. Maybe there are some plugins for that, but I don’t care at the moment, as I mostly need it for the remote control.
The remote was falsely recognized as mce remote, so I had to change some stuff:
sudo nano /etc/lirc/hardware.conf
change modules to:
MODULES=\"lirc_i2c lirc_pvr150\"
STEP39
then upload lircd.conf instead of:
/etc/lirc/lircd.conf
and
/etc/lircd.conf
this is the file:

Well, that’s basically where I’ve came to so far.
Add your media sources.
For really nice views (with posters and stuff) you should make a library view and let it scan/download the info from Internet DBs. There is a pretty good wiki on the XBMC site - read it.
And, well…enjoy!
